Herbert Protocol - for people with dementia at risk of going missing
The Herbert Protocol named after a decorated war veteran of the Normandy landings George Herbert, who lived with dementia in a care home. George continually went missing from his care home and sadly died while searching for his childhood home. The protocol encourages carers, or family members of adults living with dementia to collate information on those who are vulnerable on to the Herbert Protocol form, which can be given to the police incase the person goes missing to help get them back to safety as soon as possible. CSAB would like to extend thanks to Norfolk Safeguarding Adults Board who gave permission for other Boards to adapt the animation for local use.
